Lit Lyfe column transitioning from weekly to occasional publication
Dear beloved cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul,
It is with heavy hands that I type this letter to you.
Lit Lyfe has been coming to you for the past year with near-supreme regularity. If this blog were a student, it would have a pristine attendance record. However, as the Twin Cities literary community continues to grow at such a rapid rate; as my regular and freelance work responsibilities increase; and as Paper Darts continues to gain readership, I find myself with less and less time to indulge in the book-centric offerings that our sweet cities have to offer. It is with this actuality in mind that I must announce the move of Lit Lyfe from a regular weekly column to...yes...an irregular one.
I will still be writing up events and book reviews, but less often, and in sporadic intervals. Here's to adding a little spontaneity to all of our lives! It has been a great pleasure to bring Lit Lyfe to the screens of the Twin Cities Daily Planet, and I look forward to continuing this work with the same passion, but just less often.
Read on, readers.
Best,
Courtney Algeo
